Independence Day

[arabwel]

So. I re-watched Independence Day for the first time in... a very long time. And damn, I had totally forgotten that this movie? is GOOD.

*waits for the boos to pass'

I mean it, seriously. So ok, disregarding the whole utter implausibility of majority of the things int he movie and so on... it is GOOD. Because it works in an emotional level. Well,a t least for me it did. THe characters? I could really care for them. As in, i cried at the wedding scene, and when the first lady croaked. and... I canöt help it, this movie jsut works. i can laugh at the idiocy, cheer at the dogfights and cry for the dramadramadrama. (and omg, Munchkin is so gonna marry Dylan when they grow up.) and droola t the pretty. (Whoever played Miguel? Iw wanna see what he looks now, he was just a little bit of a puppy in that one, he should be gorgeous now :D )

But.. yeah. it is a movie that is both really fucking bad but still good.

I love dumb action flicks and stupid comedies. They're my preferred genre of movies *grins*

[arabwel.livejournal.com]

I love action flicks but canöt stand comedies, really. so that is why I go for the unintentional or sideline funny most of the time. allt he inaccuracies in ID4 are definitely pretty good, joke-wise :D

heh, i understand. i sat and mocked most of x3.

Okay so like. I think that Adam Baldwin's character Major Mitchell should console the President after all the hoopla is over. Okay, so I watch everything with a slash eye, sue me. Well, huh, no don't.
